Saturday Night Thread, Again.

Yeah, so I'm about to settle in for a seven hour focus-fest to get the next article done. Meantime, here's your Bored Saturday Night Thread. If time permits, the Midnight Movie will be Halloween 6. Chat away.

Halloween 3 had originality. Um, that’s about it. I’m suprised that John Carpenter actually went through with making it under the Halloween name. But the best thing to come out of Halloween 3? The Silver Shamrock song of course!!! *sings* 8 more days to Halloween, Halloween, Halloween…

This worked pretty well last week, so I’m putting myself at the blog’s mercy.

Little Buddha or Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Input please.

Ribbings welcome as always :)

I went to the zoo today, and it rocked. Panda Bears are freakin huge. I really wish I could bond with you guys on the Halloween movies, but i think I’ve only seen 2 or 3 and that was ages ago. However, Lori, I watched The Biggest Loser because it was facinating how quickly people lost like a hundred pounds. And my biggest TV guilty pleasure is American Idol, even after the funny/bad singer part of the show is over.

I watch Nanny 911 as a form of birth control.

Chestnuts roasted by rebecca @ 08/07/2005 12:53 PM

Little Buddha, cause that sure wasn’t Bram’s Dracula.
I know other people here had to have watched the conan movies, watching barbarian right now. I never noticed there was nudity in it. I always got cults are bad from it.
guilty pleasure
I watch star trek while working out at a public gym, don’t think people don’t stare at the geek.

No, no. Sorry, Golden Palace is on weekdays only.

Chestnuts roasted by Anne Packrat @ 08/07/2005 1:02 AM

Clerks is on Comedy Central, OR Good Times on TVland.

Chestnuts roasted by kb @ 08/07/2005 1:09 AM

good call on Clerks, need to get out the animated series again.

Chestnuts roasted by RAS @ 08/07/2005 1:13 AM

Cheap Seats marathon is on ESPN classics. It’s kind of funny.

Chestnuts roasted by Dohopoki @ 08/07/2005 1:31 AM

First post, but had to put in a thanks to kb for the heads up on Clerks! I am pretty drunk and was VERY bored until now.

THANKS!

What is "All The Real Girls" and why was a Chapman Brother involved? Is it a movie or an online RPG?

Chestnuts roasted by Mars @ 08/07/2005 1:40 AM

I take it back, Cheap Seats is fucking hilarious.

Chestnuts roasted by Dohopoki @ 08/07/2005 1:57 AM

God, If I wasn’t at my mom’s right now, I would so be all over the weekly Cheap Seats mini Marathon, and watch all the episodes I’ve seen a billion times again.

Chestnuts roasted by Nephie @ 08/07/2005 2:04 AM

So sorry, but I got distracted by Empire Records :)

All the Real Girls is a movie. Zooey Daschenel (of Almost Famous fame) is the biggest name in the movie besides Mike Chapman. I honestly dunno why he’s in the movie. It’s basically a quiet little cracked-love story.

I was on imdb and saw that he did Homestarrunner and remembered people on the blog mentioning it.

Chestnuts roasted by Knegative @ 08/07/2005 2:19 AM

Alright did a little detective work (i.e. I checked the imdb boards–don’t you hate it how you have to sign in to read them and they don’t redirect you back to where you were. Night_Trekker I’m with you, they’re an abomination).

Matt, Missy, and Craig Zobel (??) were all extras, and because the director knew them he credited Matt as StrongBad.

Okay, wasn’t that interesting
Little Buddha it is!

Chestnuts roasted by Knegative @ 08/07/2005 2:33 AM

OKAY. Matt was in the movie. Mike was a graphic designer on it. Why did their mother name them both names beginning in M when it’s late and I’m loopy?

I’m sick of me at this point. I’m gonna shut up and watch Little Buddha now. See ya next blog entry.

Anyone catch that Three Stooges movie on AMC tonight, had Micheal Chiclets in it as Curly? It seemed really good! He was pretty good at making the Curly noises, if it was him.

rebecca: My friends and I call the Discovery Health Channel "Birth Control TV" because it works that way. The only better birth control I can think of is my best friend’s mom having a baby when we were 15 and telling us WAY too much.

Whenever I go to the movie theatre, I feel like taking the cardboard displays. I should one day as it’s not like they’re going to need it after the film opens.

I’d like to see Cheap Seats, as I think the Sklar brothers are funny, but I don’t get that channel. Crazy ass Canada. You so crazy.

Shows To Watch For All The Wrong Reasons:
-Dance 360 (If You Got Served was a television show, this would be it. I laugh so hard every time I catch the episodes involving little kids. It appears as though they’re competing to see whose dance looks more like spasms.)
-The Maury Povich Show (I watched this and ended up as the father of one of the babies. I’m never watching it again.)
-California Dreams (Every time that Jake guy "rocked out" on the electric guitar, I wanted to murder him. Sly Winkle was okay…and Kelly Packard was there. That made up for it.)

Cheaps Seats is pretty great, especially when Mike and the Bots show up.

Chestnuts roasted by squee4242 @ 08/07/2005 5:03 AM

Well I just got done with watching the Marathon. I can’t remember the last time I devoted so much consecutive time to a show that wasn’t on a complete season DVD. The Scrabble episode had me in stiches.

So here I am, it’s 6 AM, I believe I’ve got an ear infection and no one has posted here for an hour. Who’s up for some Mega Man X2?

Chestnuts roasted by Dohopoki @ 08/07/2005 6:04 AM

Man, I hate being on different time schedules as you guys.

Great score there Manimal. Your description of your night is pretty similar to mine, except the wife was doing both scrapbooking/lesson plans while watching me input names on NCAA Football 06. Good times, good times.

Semper Fi,

One reply in between announcing MMX2 and beating MMX2. Frankly, I’m disappointed with me.

Chestnuts roasted by Dohopoki @ 08/07/2005 7:44 AM

I’ve been watching The Golden Palace for a bit now….

1) It’s not AS bad as I’ve read, nor is the writing AS bad as even the cast suggested in retrospective specials. It’s nowhere near as funny or smart as GG, but it has its moments.

2) Cheech and the Boogie Nights dude are likable enough for me not to hate them just because they’re not Dorothy. Not a big fan of the kid so far.

3) Of the remaining girls, Sophia took the biggest hit in the transition. At times she seems more like a character based on Sophia than Sophia. Sophia Sophia Sophia. Rose is charged to go at it sliggghtly more straight. Of the three, I’d consider Blanche the pack leader.

4) The revised GG musical stings are funky.

Man, I wish I stayed up a little later if I had known that HALLOWEEN III, NANNY 911, and THE 3 STOOGES would be topics of conversation.
1. Disgruntled Spam hit the nail on the head with the "was it really wise to label this a HALLOWEEN movie?" Obviously, Carpenter and Co. were trying to go a different direction which is fine but I think most audience members back in ’83 took out some of their frustrations on the movie due to that fact. The song is definitely worth the price of admission because it is repeated 152 times during the course of the movie. I was going to make it a tradition to watch that movie every year during the HALLOWEEN season but, sadly, I think I only did that once. Maybe I will reinstate it.
2. Lori, I didnt think I had a guilty pleasure until Rebecca mentioned NANNY 911. I hate myself for watching it but I come back for more every week.
3. Kidneyboy, the 3 STOOGES movie is well acted but way too short. Especially when one bears in mind that there were 6 (almost 7) stooges all together. Shemp’s death only gets a drive-by mention. I am a Curly man like everyone else in the universe but Shemp was a Howard brother too and deserves better.
